Mongolian Grill* [27]

"The Ave would not be The Ave without Mongolian Grill. I would not come into work if I didn't know Mongolian Grill was out there for me." - Mike McEvoy

In a different world it would be called "Mike's Grill". He would risk the credibility of his name on this restaurant. What more could you want? Any combo of meat, veggies, noodles, and sauce you want. You never leave there without leftovers (unless you're an idiot). Value is a 10*. The lunch special in only $6.99. If you play your cards right, you get 3 meals out of it. That's $2.50 a meal, folks.

The taste is an 8.5 form Mike. You can't go wrong with adding pineapples to any dish. So tropical.

The intangibles for Mongo is 8.5. Big bowls baby. Big bowls. They cook the food in front of you! It's like a poor man's Benihana.

If something tops Mongolian grill this year, Mike will shave his head.
